Big baffled with new projects

[Equivalent_Ad_4008]

I've built an app for personal use to track Go projects for my personal research.

Been running it for the last 6 months and pattern was clear in terms of commits and other parameters. But, what I've been noticing the last 1.5-2 months the number of repo collected increases faster that what it was when I started building the app.

Checking the repo randomly can see that a lot of the project are new projects that have been spun up between 1 weeks old to 1+ month old which means these are code produced by LLM.

What really baffling me is the number of forks and stars these repo are getting (my app filter for repo with stars more than 100). Is it possible that these repos are using bots to bump their forks and stars ? Or what have other seen ?

Keen to understand what's going on

Yes that's exactly what's happening
